Since there is no term, the transverse axis (the one that goes through the vertices and foci as opposed to the conjugate axis that is perpendicular to the transverse axis) is either parallel to the -axis or to the -axis.

The variable in the positive term identifies the axis parallel to the transverse axis.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Hi,
Opens right and left along y = 4
C(-3,4) and V(-10,4) & V(4,4)
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:

where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'a' units right and left of center
and foci units from center along y = k
